"One autumn, two winters and one summer. That is how much time it took for Geneviève Castrée to change her musical identity from 'Woelv' to 'Ô Paon'. Two years of gestation and four visits to Montréal's Hotel2Tango recording studio. Courses announces from the start its difference from previous records by Geneviève. The sky is heavy and the universe got darker. The lyrics are more solemn, exploring the shadowy parts of our society: wastelands, greed, the absurdity of power, violence, loneliness. Thierry Amar (Silver Mt. Zion, Black Ox Orkestar, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) expertly arranges the recordings, adding a particular texture to the songs and even playing the role of translator for certain ideas."
